His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish
farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a
cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the
bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming
and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could
have been a slow and terrifying death. The next day, a fancy carriage pulled
up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman
stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming
had saved. "I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's
life." "No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer
replied, waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to
the door of the family hovel. "Is that your son?" the nobleman asked. "Yes,"
the farmer replied proudly. "I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with
the level of education my son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his
father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of." And that
he did. Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, he
graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to
become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the
discoverer of Penicillin. Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was
saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia. What saved his life this
time? Penicillin. The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His
son's name? Sir Winston Churchill.
